Welcome! I am a contemplative thinker and photographer from Colorado. In this blog, you'll discover photographs that I've taken on my hiking and backpacking trips, mostly in the American West. I've paired these with my favorite inspirational and philosophical quotes - literary passages that emphasize the innate spirituality of the natural world. I hope you enjoy them!

In the mountains, no one can conceive of such a creature as an enemy!

 

"How complete is the absorption of one's life into the spirit of mountain woods! No one can love or hate an enemy here, for no one can conceive of such a creature as an enemy."
The Contemplative John Muir
